Billed as an endurance wall, this has to be the wildest climbing wall I've ever seen!! It's a haul, but it is accessible via public transport. It's 17 meters high at the top of the head-- but routes are 22 meters, 23 including the 2 meters of horn with holds! (an overhang of 17 meters at the steepest). . . the base is only 4 meters deep, but it does seem solid!
One caveat-- the first 3 meters are hold free-- you must make a reservation to use the wall.
To reserve, call Pak Jae-ooh (박재우) at 011-207-0957(Korean) a day ... [Read More]
